Re: pisa

Other than the tower and the chapel, there's not much to the place as I remember. It's a bit of a tourist trap. I've been a few times with different people, and we've walked out of the train station to the tower, taken photos and walked back and gone elsewhere.

Where is elsewhere? Florence is the obvious one, a very beautiful city with lots to look at, or up the coast (viareggio or forte dei marmi) or in land to Lucca or prato. For day trip catch the train up past spezia towards genoa and do the cinque terra.

The airport in Pisa is bang on the edge of town, about 4k to the tower and 2.5k to the train station, which is connected by rail to the airport. Depending what train you catch, florence is between 50 and 60 mins away by train. The cinque terre is about about an hour on the fast train from pisa.

I hope you went out smiling like a child, into the cool remnant of a dream.
